about

A light-hearted rant about load-shedding in South Africa

lyrics

It’s time to take the power back
It’s time to rise against oppression
It’s time to to get back on the track
It’s time to make some new decisions

What gives you the right to kill the light
The darkness grows inside my mind
The darkness grows

When days are dark and friends are few
Carry the spark I hold for you

This system’s way beyond a joke
Reflections of this hole we live in
Another bite on which we choke
Instead of light we’re given darkness!

What gives you the right to kill the light
The darkness grows inside

When days are dark and friends are few
Carry the spark I hold for you

It’s no big mystery how our history got so out of control
Baby, I just shed my load

Another time, another crime, how did we sink so low
Baby I just shed my load

A lack of vision, no revision like we learnt in school
Baby I just shed my load

Won’t take forever, but whatever, I endeavor to be better
I just shed my load
